MAYO.
The power of courage and combina-
tion in the land war was never better
exemplihed than in Charles Cores sur
render, ON May IL, to the reasonable
demands Of his tenants in the parishes
Of Castleconnor and Kilmoremoy. On
the Mayo side of the river Moy the ten
ants did not unite, but each endeavored
to treat for himself with the landlord,
and consequently they were left in the
lurch On the Sligo side of the river
Sir Charles Cores tenants, having been
refused the abatement they sought,
made up their n1inds to adopt the plan
of campaign, and on Monday were to
have begun operations under it, Mr..
Crilly, M. T., having gone down from
Dublin to conduct them. That morn
ing, however, Sir Charles, seeing that
the tenants were deadly in earnest, sent
for the local priests and proposed an ar
which, if not such as is de-
manded by the circumstances of the
time, was at least considered worth ac-
ceptance by the clergymen acting on
behalf of the tenants. The Mayo men
must be green with envy Of their more
courageous Sligo neighbors, and may
be expected to take care that next time
there shall not be such difference on
onnos1to sides nF the one river
